Largest strike in August: At @Boeing, IAM District 837 (≈ 3,200 workers) struck over: 📍pay and pension fairness 📍health care costs 📍respect on the job The walkout shut down key production lines and drew national attention to the power of aerospace labor.
WOULD YOU TRUST A FRIEND WHO LIED TO YOU 45% OF THE TIME???? NO? THEN FUCKING STOP TRUSTING A PROGRAM THAT DOES AGHHHHHHHHHH
People don't hate this man nearly enough.
Join the Googlers For Job Security movement! We’re hosting a town hall TOMORROW, Thu, Oct 23, 1 PM PT/4 PM ET, to discuss the importance of our new “severance as leave” demand, what comes next in our job security campaign, & what part you can play! RSVP: go.awu.fyi/g4js-town-hall

Dude has been taking advantage of people's lack of options due to economic catastrophes to get that bad quality data. Researchers quietly watch exploitation cause they don't think it'll get to them as they believe they're at the top of the totem pole. But if finally does.

When the boss says, "Unions are great, but not for us" Ask yourself: What’s so different about your workplace? Why would your boss push back on a union? workerorganizing.org/labor-unions-p…
“Congress, y’all ain’t doing nothing for us,” said retired West Virginia miner Gary Hairston, his breath catching in his throat after every few words. “We need you to stand up for us coal miners. You have us stand beside you when you run for election, and now we need your help.”
in America when someone else's computer breaks you can't use your washing machine.
Our annual Circuit Breakers conference is live! 300 tech workers spanning the US, Mexico, Philippines, India and Kenya and different rungs of global valuze chain gather across 40-different worker-led sessions exchanging strategies and tactics! Later we will digitize sessions!
How to burn scientific credibility. Frenkel is a mathematician who has never worked on anything close to dark matter/ dark energy phenomenology, or even on any of the mainstream problems of theoretical physics. This is like me opining on proofs of the Langlands conjectures. 1/4
I can attest that @EricRWeinstein is a brilliant mathematical physicist. I recently did a deep dive into his Geometric Unity theory and I think it has the potential to unify all forces of nature in a beautiful & novel way; explain dark matter; and give a new explanation of dark…
hey look, an AI artist got hurt because somebody stole his prompt
Never do this: Passing off someone else’s work as your own. This Grok Imagine effect with the day-to-night transition was created by me — and I’m pretty sure that person knows it. To make things worse, their copy has more impressions than my original post. Not cool 👎
The viral new "Definition of AGI" paper has fake citations which do not exist. And it specifically TELLS you to read them! Proof: different articles present at the specified journal/volume/page number, and their titles exist nowhere on any searchable repository.

NEW: ICE expects non-LEO recruits to recruits do 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes. A third are failing the test, posing a major challenge to the agency's efforts to scale up.
hahahaha the bed sends 16gb of data a month oh god
Is 16+gb/mo a normal amount of telemetry? Can you not do any local compute of “get hot” or “get cold” with a multi core processor and multiple gigabytes of memory? Can’t just repeat the previous nights settings? It’s bad enough that you slapped a $200/yr subscription on things,…
I genuinely cannot believe a BED stops working because of an amazon outage. the jokes are literally writing themselves.
The AWS outage has impacted some of our users since last night, disrupting their sleep. That is not the experience we want to provide and I want to apologize for it. We are taking two main actions: 1) We are restoring all the features as AWS comes back. All devices are currently…
China’s construction of the world’s largest dam is another sign of Beijing’s inability to break from its tried-and-true formula of turning to infrastructure investment to stimulate the economy.
Huel having 1000% more lead than recommended would actually be a bit of an Occam’s Razor to what’s been going on in SF this past decade
